+This should work:\r
+\r
+  $ export NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY=1\r
+  $ notmuch count -- from:suvayu attachment:*.pdf\r
+  Query string is:\r
+  from:suvayu attachment:*.pdf\r
+  Exclude query is:\r

+  Final query is:\r
+  Xapian::Query((Tmail AND ZXFROMsuvayu:(pos=1) AND Zattach:(pos=2) AND Zpdf:(pos=3)))\r
+  217\r
+  $ notmuch count -- from:suvayu attachment:pdf\r
+  Query string is:\r
+  from:suvayu attachment:pdf\r
+  Exclude query is:\r
+  Xapian::Query()\r
+  Final query is:\r
+  Xapian::Query((Tmail AND ZXFROMsuvayu:(pos=1) AND ZXATTACHMENTpdf:(pos=2)))\r
+  151\r
+\r
+I guess to answer the OP's question, the globbed form simply does a text\r
+search of attach and pdf.  The keyword is not recognised at all.\r
+\r
